Experimental laboratory was an Ancient city on the planet Vohl. Later, Wraith would occupy the planet and have their own experimental laboratory set up inside the structure.
Overview[]
For centuries, the Wraith used the laboratory to experiment on new ways to prepare their life force sustenance in order to change up the feeding experience, such as giving it a different taste and absorbing the life force in a different method.
They experimented with the Karrans from the neighboring planet Karra. Every three months, the Karrans chose five Honored Ones of their people to be taken into a Wraith Dart. They'd then be brought to the laboratory to be experimented and fed upon.
In 2004, however, the laboratory was destroyed by Major John Sheppard with a Puddle Jumper. (SGA: "Wraithfall 2", "Wraithfall 3")
Experiments[]
The experiments they performed inside the lab were to improve the taste of the life force they would feed on. The technology they used included:
- A needle chamber, that inject adrenalin compounds into the subject that increase the metabolic rate rapidly, burning it out until it dies. This process makes the subject's life force taste tangy.
- A battering device that slowly beat it's subject to death.
- A Cerebral cortex conduit, that probes the subject's mind and causes hallucinations, while draining their blood in small controlled amounts. (SGA: "Wraithfall 2")
